THE story is out that the tomb Of
Napoleon /. has been robbed of the re-
mains of the great warrior. 1t is probably
canard. The motive for such a robbery
would be difficult to discover, since the
thief could scarcely hope to secure 4 ran
some price and escape detection.

Pulling More Casing-DrilIing not TO
be Commenced Until About
Next Wednesday.

After pulling up some FIVE hundred
feet of six-inch casing from the gas
well, the presence of "flat" or bent
place in the larger casing compelled
the men to commence this morning
drawing that. The casing has be-
come detached about one hundred
feet from the bottom Of the well,
and Mr.. Wolf has telegraped to
Pennsylvania for tool with which
TO take out the lower section. If the
tool arrives on Monday, as is ex-
pected. the casing will all be removed
in about day, and drilling will most
likely be resumed Wednesday. A
week has been lost trying to ''swedge"
or ream out the bend in the large
casing, but as further work of this
kind wss found useless, it had to
be drawn to take out the trouble

The INSANITY Dodee.


MONTGOMERY CrrY, Mo-, jane 20.
after the Circuit Court was
called this morning an affidavit was
filed alleging that the mental ccndi-
tion of John M. Rodgers, indicted
for the murder Of Geo. w. Woods at
the annual school meeting st young's
School House, April s. was such
that his attorneys could not safely
go into the trial Of his case, he being
unable to counsel and advise with
them in the matter. On this affidavit
the Court decided to have the quss-
tion Of Rodgers sanity tested on We'd
nesday, the 9th of July.

The Henry George party in New
Yord State has issued its call for an
organizing convention, which will
meet at Syracuse, August 18th, to
nominate candidates for state offices
this fall. The two leading planks In
the platform submitted in this call
are: First, abolition of private prop
erty in land; second, the issue of
United States treasury notes to rep
resent the accumulated surplus in
the treasury. II is safe to say that
the party can develop no great
strength so long as the land confis-
cation plank remains in the platform.
In point of fact, the distinctly labor
element is by no means united in
support of Georges theory. John
Swinton makes fierce assault on the
movement through his paper, in
which ne denounces the call for the
convention as expressing principles
contrary to those of the labor re-
formers, and in which he condemns
Mr. George for his crusade against
the Roman Catholic church.

taken up. Speeches fasoring Inn
peachment were made. hy Arbuthnot
and Moore, Of Laclede; in opposi-
ten by Noland, Richardson, Booth
and Smith, Of Dallas, Booth, who
was Chairman Of the Investigating
Committee did not believe that
articles of impeachment could be
sustained on the trial. His commit-
tee had made searching investiga-
tion and obtained all the testimony
likely to be had on trial, and while
he thought there wss evidence to
show that the Auditot violated the
statute forbidding him, as an inspec-
tor of the prison, to be interested in
any prison contract, vet there might
be some difficulty in proving any
criminal intent on the part Of the
Auditor in this matter. Smith, Of
Dallas, was unquali6edly opposed to
impeachment. The resolution was
lost, sc against and 40 for.

WHERE TITLES WERE CHEAP.
Henors Conferred Upon q Peor Scotch
Minister b. Sc. Andrews College.
From the Boston Record.

From the Boston Record.
It is about an old Scotch minister,
who was very poor and very POM
pous. He lived in the old days in
Scotland, when, on the payment Of
small sum of money, the college of
st. Andrews would give a man the
degree Of IL. d. Now, the old
dominic had a servant, q faithful
man, who had taken care Of his
bed and his board, his garden and
his table for many year. One day
he called upon Jamie to come with
him for tramp to st. Andrews; |;
and jamie dutifully followed his
master to the college and home
again, having been q witness to the
email negotiations of the two days
absence. On the morning following
his return the dominic called Jamie
to him and said:
Listen, mon; if anybody comes
here in my absence and asks for the
minister you will say: The doctor
has gone to the kirk or the doctor
has gone to the post or the doctor
is visiting the sick of the parish
''Very well sir" said Jamie, cam
may / make bold to ask you favor
sir?'
Eyes, mon," said the dominic,
benigntly.
"Wheel, sir" said Jamie, ''if any
body comes to ask for me, sir, will
you kindly say that the doctor is
scrubbin' the stable or maxim the
kitchen fret / just thought, sir, as
the degree was 80 cheap at St. An
drews, I'd be for buyin' one for my
self, too, sir"
Telling the Bell for Grants Tomb.
From the New York Sun.
The Daniel Drew began last
Wednesday night, the custom OF
tolling her bell as she passes the
tomb of Gen. Grant; the Richmond,
the Drew's companion boat, will do
the same. The idea was suggested
to the company by letter from a
passenger, who referred to the usage
on the Potomac in passing Mount
Vernon. The captain of the Drew
relates that several months ago, al
English tourist, who was evidently
taking notes. inquired of the pilo'
why the boat's bell was not runs
when passing that spot?
whats the use ?'' said the sol
emn-faced humorist at the wheel
"He wouldn't hear it." A star
, from the Englishman and then "B
Jove, TIL note that"
No other boat has yet followed th
Drew's example, and the custom j
not likely to become general, as th
carrying Of bells is going out Of use
and whistle would hardly be
suitable substitute.
